My neighbor is new to Lafayette and has never been to a softball game. I took her with me and she can’t wait to go back and take her mom too. She couldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had - we have new Cajuns fans y’all!
Have to ask. Why are baseball and softball experiences so great and we can't get people to attend a football game? We need to explore what makes those venues so attractive vs football which should be our #1 venue. Now is the time to address and fix all problems with football attendance in preparation for the coming season. Is anyone in the athletic dept ready to seriously address this?
I’d venture to say that both softball and baseball are intimate settings. I feel like since Russo was built it’s kinda taken away from the experience. Still good but not like the old tigue. Football is just 15k in a cavernous 42k seat stadium. You feel disconnected. There’s no fan engagement. They kick the students out. They move the students from the normal sections. Concessions suck. People get ____ed off when fans stand up and make noise. Pathetic really. I could go on but I’m gonna just go have some cold beers at the ballparks on a nice Sunday afternoon.
Naw, they’ll take the Moncus Park approach. Bleed even red cent they can out of donors and patrons while in the honeymoon phase, only considering the now with no regards to sustainability.
Hopefully this post will be noted by MH folks and realize it’s not the way to do it.
I agree with Mullet - the intimate feel of the space. The experience in the chair backs on the 50 yd line vs the upper deck is night and day. Upper deck feels so isolated
